Haplogroup I1 testing
Haplogroup I1* is an indigenous European group and is hypothesised to have spread out from the Iberian refugium after the last glacial maximum 18,000 years ago. I1 reaches its highest frequency in Scandinavia and has a decreasing gradient in frequency to the East and to the South and West. I1 is relatively common in the British Isles, having been taken there by Norse and Danish Vikings as well as Anglo-Saxons. M72 (I1b) is a rare group seen only in Poland thus far.
This product will be of interest to those who have strong evidence from previous DNA testing (from SNP or STR markers) that they belong to haplogroup I1. Feel free to contact us with any questions regarding I1 DNA testing.
*Haplogroup I1 is formally known as I1a
EthnoAncestry offers three testing options for haplogroup I1:
I1 Subgroup Test
This product tests the Y-SNPs which define the I1 group, as well as all known downstream I1 Y-SNPs. M227 marks a group (I1b) that is found in Eastern Europe and the Baltic area.
The full list of SNPs tested in the I1 subgroup test is as follows:
P38, M253, P30, P40, M21, M227, M72, S142, P109 & P259
You will receive an official certificate depicting the results of your testing.

I1 research SNPs S62-S66
EthnoAncestry is pleased to announce the development of 5 new Y-SNPs in haplogroup I1 - S62, S63, S64, S65, and S66.
We are in the process of testing where these markers fit into the 2006 ISOGG Y chromosome phylogenetic tree. For those who are adventuresome and wish to be part of the research process we have, with the encouragement of a prominent haplogroup I researcher, decided to make these available for a limited time only sale price.
Although we expect that many of these Y-SNPs will be redundant (e.g. equivalent to M253) we may find that there are clusters of people who are positive or negative for each of the new Y-SNPs. Please do consider joining us in this research effort which ultimately result in each Y-SNP being properly placed on "the tree".
